So Hanukkah, Hanukkah is one of the most beautiful holidays. All holidays are magnificent, but Hanukkah is perhaps a holiday that touches us even more because it has so much to do with the struggle, the contemporary struggles, since you know that Hanukkah is the war between Greece and Israel. But it wasn't just a physical military war. The Maral of Prag say that it's a war linked to the concept of intelligence. So there would be a war over the very status So there would be a war over the very status of cognition, over the very status of what intelligence is. So first of all, there are big questions that are not at all clear in Hanukkah. The first question is that at first glance, this miracle, which is just a small vial, lasted for 8 days, whereas it actually lasted 15 days. This great miracle was unnecessary since we have a principle in the Torah of the Raab a principle in the Torah of the Raab etsibur that if all the people are impure, they were all impure because of the war against them. They had killed thousands of Greeks in the war. The Hellenistic Siros killed them, so they were considered impure. We have a principle that if all the people of Israel, or even the majority—not all, not the majority of the people of Israel—are impure, we have the right to light candles in that state of impurity. We even have the right to offer sacrifices in that state of impurity. So how is it that here, this miracle is a luxury?
